Deep scratches? Can they be lightly sanded out with 600 grit sandpaper? Then apply vinyl treatment for car interiors? I know Zaino makes one for interior plastics.

I don't know if stickers or emblems will really do any good. It will just look like stickers.

Most sign making business will make small custom stickers for you so I guess that might be an option if all else does not pan out. Maybe make up some good slogans that pertain to the mini but can be read from the rear seat while facing forward.

Slogans like:

well, since i will loose the texture in the plastic if i do sand it down, it will need
to be repainted if i do go that route.

is a pretty good sized scratch.
